RAIL-SUPPORT FOR DOOR-HANGERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,643, dated.December 18, 1888.

Application filed May 15, 1888. Serial No. 273,952. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, TRUMAN I-I. DAY, re-

reference being bad to the accompanying;

drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an end elevation of the support, therail, and a roller door-hanger. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of thesupportand rail. Fig. 3 is a front elevation, on a smaller scale,showing a rail and its supports.

This invention relates to supports for the rails for rollerdoor-hangers. The object is to construct an improvedsupport for therail, which I accomplish as illustrated in the drawings, and hereinafterdescribed. That which I claim as new will be pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, A represents the side or wall of a building from whichthe door is supported.

B is an L-shaped bracket.

C is a brace, which can be formed integral with the bracket 13, asshown, or it can be made separate from and secured to the bracket B.This brace 0 consists of a verti- 0 cal portion, I), an inclinedportion, 0, a vertical portion, (7-, to which the rail is riveted, and ahorizontal portion, e, which is riveted t0 the horizontal arm of thebracket B. The

end a of the horizontal arm of the bracket B projects beyond thevertical portion 61 of the 3 5 brace and forms a support for the rail.

D is a flat bar-rail which rests on the proj ecting end a of the bracket1; and is riveted to the vertical portion (1 of the brace t.

E is a common grooved roller door-hanger, the roller of which runs onthe rail D.

The supports may be secured to the wall A by screws which pass throughboth the vertical arm of the bracket B and the vertical portion I) ofthe brace (J, and are placed at such distances apart as may be necessaryto properly support the door. \Yhen two or more sections of rail D areused, the adjoining ends of two sections rest on a support.

The support, consisting of the bracket B and brace is strong, welladapted to hold the rail, and very easily made.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A support for the rail for door-hangers, consisting of an L-shapedbracket, 1), and a brace, having a vertical portion, d, to which therails can be secured, and a horizontal portion, e, secured to thehorizontal arm of the bracket 13 a little distance from the outer endthereof, leaving a projecting end, a, to support the rail, substantiallyas specified.
